NOTE: From William J. Rupert, letter
dated 1 May 1997, "Peter's son Philip married Catherine Schafer in the Luneberg
district, Osnabruck Township, according to some information received from
a great-great grandaughter of Phillip's,
now living in in Moulinette, west of Cornwall. "They had nine children: Nelson,
Gordon, Ira, Adeline, Maria, Caroline,
Jane, Phillip, and Levius. "Captain Phillip Empey lost his leg at the Battle
of the Windmill and was granted 400 acres
of land in Madoc Township. He died without a will and his son Gordon claimed
the property. He divided the 400 acres
between his two brothers Levius and Ira."

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL DATA: (William
J. Rupert) "Philip saw action and lost
a leg during the War of 1812. The official account of that occurrence is as
follows: " I hereby cerfify that I personally
witnessed the active & meritorious zeal of Captn Morgan, Lieut Empey and
Lieut & Actg Adjutant Alexander Mc
Lean of the Stormont Militia at the capture of Fort Oswegatchie & Ogdensburg
onthe 22nd day of February 1813. That
Captain Morgan displayed great courage in entering one of the batteries in
which movement he was attended by the
two subalterns above mentioned one of whom Lieut Empey lost a leg upon
the occasion and the other Lieut McLean had a part of his thigh carried off
by a cannon shot, but notwithstanding,
continued in the field actively doing his duty until the enemy abondoned the
Fort & I accordingly recommend each
of the three above mentioned officers for any mark of honorary distinction
which may be intended for deserving militia
officers." (signed) G. MacDonell.

MORE INFORMATION: (William J. Rupert)
As a matter of interest I have included
photographs of the Upper Canada Village Pioneer Memorial located near
Morrisburg Ontario and the gravestone of Phillip Empey and his wife Catharine.
This stone and many others were relocated
from their original locations when the St. Lawrence Seaway was constructed
during the 1960's."

NOTE: I had the folllowing note
attached when I had him married to another person and still living in Schoharie
Co., NY, with his wife, Margaretha Bouck.
I now believe he is the one who went to Canada. "Another source puts Martinus
as part of the Canadian Loyalists and his wife as, Jane Bradshaw, married
15 Feb 1820."
